Woah.
Wow, it's strange how fast life moves once it starts moving. I went to a temp agency and handed in my resume on Tuesday, which led to an appointment (today). I actually was borderline sick that night (terrible headache, pukey feeling), and had really odd dreams - two nightmares (one involving giant shark monsters that walked on their fins like cartoon sharks, the other involving a Freddie Krueger-esque man/monster) and outside of that an awful lot of the girl I was briefly with 8 years ago (damn, that's nearly a decade... I guess I better give up on romance forever at this point and just buy some Tenga). Not the most promising dreams.
So anyway, I had the appointment today. Before that I did some little cheezy tests for clerical work. So I go in, not sure what to expect, and now I apparently am being set up for an interview with a Japanese company here in Hawaii. So that went really well, suprisingly. Some dynamic people there. I went in at 1:15, was out at 3:30, and I'm not sure what happened inbetween. I filled out some paperwork, watched an amazingly boring video (that had some mildly amusing campiness in the "diversity" and "harassment" sections, and actually had a voice over sounding far too much like a parody training video), had a short interview, and next thing I know she's telling me to call her Friday if I don't hear from her (my contact/whatever at the temp agency). All of this is much faster than the last three weeks of utter slack, where I have a)got up at noon or later, b)mastered whole new types of solitare featuring Japanese hanafuda cards, and c)read about a third of War and Peace.
Now I just have to worry about a probably telephone interview in the next day or so (well, now I have to brush up). Hopefully I don't screw up. In any case, life is looking more interesting.
Outside of that, Shugo Chara is awesome, so if you like magical girl shows watch it. Cool and Spicy! I've also gotten some new music, an old album (2005) by YUKI called "joy" that is very, very pretty (at only $10, used, haha - that's a serious deal for a Japanese CD, sadly enough). And everyone should go to check out Nedroid. Who actually is on LJ, so it's also
nedroidcomics.
